2404 Brilliant Gold and the Sea Eye!
At that moment, Lin Yuan returned to the city where Luna resided.

During his 10-day journey, Lin Yuan helped Wen Yu shoulder some of the work involved with managing the marsh world’s affairs.

With Lin Yuan making the decisions, everything progressed much faster in the marsh world.

Lin Yuan had yet to interact with the Samsara Realm Dictators from Mermaid Forbidden Sea.

Presently, the only Samsara Realm Dictators from the water world he had interacted with were Frozen Ocean, Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Extreme Ocean.

However, Lin Yuan had already chosen the Dictators who would be staying behind to guard the dimensional worlds. He had picked Extreme Ocean for the water world and Vine Source for the marsh world.

In the future, even if the marsh world and water world were combined, Lin Yuan intended to keep both of them in their dimensional worlds.

They had already been living for thousands of years, and their temperaments were already set. They could not change even if they wanted to.

Extreme Ocean liked to play tricks, while Vine Source liked to vent his anger on others. Neither of them had temperaments that Lin Yuan liked. Even Evil Source, the thorn in the entire marsh world’s side, was more responsible in completing her duties than the other two!
Extreme Ocean and Vine Source had many objections to Lin Yuan’s arrangement, but he did not give them the time to voice their opinions.

Lin Yuan could not be bothered to give them an explanation. All they needed to do was concentrate on guarding their homes. After all, the enormous marsh and water worlds could not be left unguarded without a Samsara Realm Dictator.

…

Luna had been playing with the pearl Lin Yuan gave her ever since he left. The pearl radiance that resembled the light of a goddess constantly reminded her of Lin Yuan.

Luna played with the elemental pearl while she thought about Lin Yuan and suppressed the temptation of the water-elemental energy within the pearl.

Luna thought that her dream of seeing Lin Yuan again was nothing more than a pipe dream. She did not expect to have the chance to meet him again so soon.

An idea suddenly popped into Luna’s head. Could he be back because of his feelings for her?

The dishes she had prepared did not appeal to him at all. She could not imagine what reasons he could have for coming back to see her.

But it did not take long for him to give her an answer.

“Take me to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye!”

Lin Yuan came to see Luna because she was the only mermaid he knew in Mermaid Forbidden Sea and had interacted the most with her. During their interactions, she had not expressed any intention of harming him. This was very important to him. If he became acquainted with another king-class mermaid, he could not guarantee that he would be able to see eye-to-eye with them.

Although the rankings among mermaids were determined by bloodline, there were differences between each of their personalities.

An example would be the Goddess of Mercy, who always saw him in a special way.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan also wanted to gain more information from Luna and bait her to reveal more secrets so he could find out more about the secret of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

When Lin Yuan mentioned the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, Luna asked Lin Yuan softly, “Lord Emperor, do you want to go to Deep Chasm Sea Eye because your emperor-class bloodline has reached a certain level and want to attempt a breakthrough?

“You have been in seclusion all this time and don’t know much about the situation in the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. My advice is that unless it’s necessary, you should stay out of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye’s irradiation!

“Many emperor-class mermaids were injured because of the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. Their roots still haven’t fully recovered. Otherwise, given Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s power and strength, we would have attacked Grace Sacred Hall long ago!”

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He had been curious about why the powerful Mermaid Forbidden Sea had yet to advance on Grace Sacred Hall when mermaids had strong cravings for territory.

But now, Lin Yuan finally knew the reason.

They had not attacked Grace Sacred Hall because they were afraid of the inferior mermaids being injured but because there were issues with their elite combatants. Thus, they were not confident that they would be able to defeat Grace Sacred Hall.

Luna’s willingness to tell him this meant that she trusted him irrevocably and was putting him on the pedestal of an emperor-class mermaid.

According to the information from Luna, Lin Yuan could be certain that he would be capable of conquering Mermaid Forbidden Sea with his own martial force, even if they turned out to be uncooperative.

It was rumored that the Deep Chasm Sea Eye where the New Thearch’s Scale was hidden was not at peace.

Lin Yuan could not ask about the reason the Deep Chasm Sea Eye was so dangerous. It would not make sense for an emperor-class mermaid to be unaware of one of the mermaid’s legends. Thus, he needed to find a way to lead Luna to reveal the answer on her own.

“Oh? Were all the other emperor-class mermaids injured?” he asked.

Luna hurriedly replied, “Empress Brilliant Gold especially went to ask Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers for help before she attempted to obtain the New Thearch’s Scale. They rejected her, but she still stubbornly went ahead and made her attempt. Thus, she used her links to veteran emperors to convince four other emperors to take on the Deep Chasm Sea Eye with her.

“The streams of water around the Deep Chasm Sea Eye become extremely choppy every nine lengths. Once the stream catches one, one’s body would be ripped to shreds. Mermaids have weaker physiques than sea beasts, and the Deep Chasm Sea Eye also seals off mermaids’ control over water.

“Nonetheless, emperor-class mermaids are still able to withstand the outer currents! However, Empress Brilliant Gold did not utilize electrical power when trying to break through the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, and the currents in the inner streams are thousands of times stronger than the outer streams. Even the emperor-class experts protecting her from behind suffered serious injuries. The pinnacle emperor-class Brilliant Gold’s tail still hasn’t fully regrown. I don’t want you to be injured too.”

Luna spoke the last sentence so softly that Lin Yuan almost did not hear it.

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard that.

Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean had not mentioned how dangerous the Deep Chasm Sea Eye was. It was likely that the Deep Chasm Sea Eye’s danger level had been kept under wraps by the mermaids.

But since Lin Yuan was already here, he would make a trip to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye no matter what.

As Dark Blue’s power continued to increase, Lin Yuan’s bloodline had also reached pinnacle emperor-class. It was time for him to attempt a breakthrough.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask Luna if the Deep Chasm Sea Eye was still so dangerous if one used electrical energy to activate the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, she said to him seriously, “If you want to give it a go, you can approach other mermaid emperors. The mermaids have always been hoping for a thearch so they can lead the clan to search for the lost history and legend.”
